Want to help support the Python community? Want discounted admission to PyBay but don't want to take your chances on winning a scholarship?

PyBay has 25 work-trade roles for friendly, helpful folks who can work well without a lot of guidance and solve problems with a positive attitude. Generally, the majority of your work will happen during the main conference days, August 11-13. A few folks will be helping during the pre-conference workshop days, August 10-11. During your shift(s), we hope you'll have fun and wear the conference crew T-shirt with pride. We're counting on our crew to help make sure everyone has a great experience, and you'll play a key role in helping PyBay become a Bay Area tradition.

Most work-trade crew will help about 6 hours during the main conference days with:

If you have demonstrated skills in photography, social media, marketing, or other areas that will help make PyBay a success, we may be able to create a special role for you instead of, or in addition to, the responsibilities above.

Work-trade conference tickets cost $100. Once accepted, you'll pay $200 up-front, and once you perform your agreed-upon tasks, you'll receive a $100 reimbursement at the end of the conference.

We will send an email by August 1st so you can signup for your work-trade shifts. We'd recommend that you familiar yourselves with the talks ahead of time to increase your chance of hosting the talks you want to see

If approved, can you pay $200 for your ticket and be reimbursed $100 after completing the assignments? If you just want to help and donate the difference in ticket price to the conference, please indicate so. *
